IIRC, an Avengers story (it may have been issue #5, where they fought the Lava Men) also referred to the Hulk's alter ego as "Bob Banner." Later, Stan came up with the explanation that the scientist's full name was Robert Bruce Banner.

ASM #1, where "Peter Palmer" tries to join the Fantastic Four "to make some money," makes no sense. He assumes, without any reason, that membership in the FF is a paying job. The villain makes the same assumption, and also assumes that Spider-Man needs money and will therefore try to join the FF. The bad guy doesn't know Spider-Man's secret identity; for all he knows, Spidey could be Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, or the president of the Chase Manhattan Bank.

Kid, I didn't know you owned #1 of Amazing Spider-Man !! Do you remember that in the '80s the boss of British Rail was called Peter Parker ? Something to make us Marvel fans chuckle unknown to the public-at-large.

Indeed, TC, it's nonsense, isn't it. I covered that very thing in my post entitled: Oh No! Spare Us From Another Of Those 'Loopy Lapses In Logic Dept.' Posts... back in 2012.

Got quite a few Silver Age first issues and appearances, CJ - Thor, X-Men, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Avengers, Daredevil, etc. I do indeed remember BR's PP - I wonder if there are any real life counterparts to Don Blake, Matt Murdoch, Reed Richards, or any other superhero characters. Has there ever been a real Clark Kent?

Never seen this before, Kid. The only Power annual I had was the first Fantastic.I was once talking to a lad in a comic shop who confessed that he had previously taken a bin bag of comics, including TAS-M #1 to the tip! Whattamistakatomaka!!

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

ForMARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as arestoration artistfor MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.
